Now touring in New England and New York.

​

Lost Nation follows the parallel and intersecting journeys of impulsive, larger-than-life land speculator and Vermont founding father, Ethan Allen, and Lucy Terry Prince — a groundbreaking poet and justice advocate who was among the first free, Black settlers to Vermont.  During the mid-to-late 18th Century, Vermont was hotly contested territory and Ethan Allen led recently settled poor farmers, to fight off feudal New York land barons who claimed their land. During this same period, Lucy and her husband Abijah Prince moved to the growing rural town of Guilford - the epicenter of Yorker resistance to Vermont rule. In addition to the struggles all small family farmers faced on this unstable northern frontier, the Princes had to protect their family and property against racist harassment from nearby neighbor, John Noyes, which they fought on multiple fronts - including all the way to the highest court in the fledgling Republic of Vermont.
